DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Maximum Sun Protection
The ION Maze LS Rashguard has a UPF 50+ rating, blocking over 98% of UV rays. Whether you're out for a 3-hour kitesurf session in La Baule or on a surf trip in Andalusia, your arms and torso stay protected all day. No more sunburn on your forearms after a long session.
Recycled Materials & Eco-Responsibility
ION is committed to sustainable production. This rashguard is made from 84% recycled polyester, with 16% elastane for stretch. Choosing gear made from recycled plastics reduces the carbon footprint of your riding without sacrificing quality or durability.
Slim Fit & Slip_Loop
The slim stretch fit of the Maze LS is designed for watersports: not so tight it restricts shoulder rotation, and not so loose it creates drag. The integrated Slip_Loop at the hem lets you attach it to your boardshort. This means the top stays put, even during heavy wipeouts.
Versatility & Care
The Rashguard Maze LS Men works well as a standalone layer in warm weather or as a base layer under a neoprene top in cooler conditions. Its lycra construction resists repeated rubbing from a harness or wetsuit. To care for it, rinse with fresh water after each session, dry in the shade, and avoid frequent machine washing to preserve its stretch.

FAQ: ION Rashguard Maze LS Men 2026
Who is this rashguard for?
The Maze LS Men is for male riders who kitesurf, wingfoil, or Surf during long sessions in the sun. Its slim fit suits standard builds from S (48) to XXL (56), and it's ideal for Mediterranean or tropical spots with high UV exposure.
What are the key features of this model?
Three things make the Maze LS stand out: full UPF 50+ arm and torso protection; the Slip_Loop that secures it to your boardshort during wipeouts; and its recycled polyester fabric, which combines durability, stretch, and an eco-friendly design.
What sizes are available?
The Maze LS Men 2026 comes in 6 sizes: 46/XS, 48/S, 50/M, 52/L, 54/XL, and 56/XXL. It has a slim cut, so if you're between sizes, we recommend going a size up for more freedom of movement on the water.
Can it be worn under a wetsuit?
Yes. The slim fit and thin fabric make the Maze LS ideal as a protective base layer under a wetsuit. It reduces chafing and adds a light thermal layer. Just check for size compatibility with your wetsuit.
How do I care for this rashguard?
Rinse with fresh water after each session to remove salt and chlorine. Dry it in the shade; prolonged direct sun exposure can degrade the fabric's elasticity. If needed, machine wash at 30°C max in a laundry bag. Never tumble dry.
